You may have heard of the South West Coast Path (SWCP), it’s England’s longest footpath, stretching for 630 miles (1,014 km), running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset. It runs round our own Baggy Point and Croyde Bay. It’s a really challenging trail as it rises and falls with every river mouth, I can vouch for this from personal experience! The total height climbed has been calculated to be 114,931 ft (35,031 m), almost four times the height of Mount Everest. It is listed as one of the world’s best walks, and I can thoroughly recommend doing it, if not the whole thing then just a day walk.
Channel 5 are showing a great TV series about it at the moment which you can watch on the Channel 5 player. If you are familiar with the North Devon Coast you will recognise a lot of the scenery in the first episode.
Read more about the South West Coast Path on its website, and I found this Encounter walking holidays website a great day-by-day guide to the route.
